This from Jeremy Fowler...

Have also seen it reported that Johnson has told the Lions he's not coming back.

Chance to cement your legacy as a GM by building a team around a great young qb, or go to a team that doesn't appear to have much of a shot of getting a qb this year.  I know what my choice would be.

This seems very manufactured, IMO. 

I wonder if I can bet on Johnson not going to LV in a sports book?

I think you are right, but I have seen crazier stuff in the NFL.  

The thing is that there don't appear to be any real insiders for Johnson saying this stuff. All this info is coming from Raiders sources, which says a LOT IMO.

He's the assistant GM there though, he won't ever have any kind of legacy there.

GM jobs are much tougher to get in the NFL than HC's, as it's rare for a GM to be fired but not the HC, while a lot of GM's end up being given multiple chances at hiring HC's.

If you have a chance at a GM job, you go for it.

Nonsense. We change our GM every 2-3 years.

and we've changed our HC every 1-2 years during that time frame too lol.

Bottom line is GM jobs open up less than HC jobs and there are far more potential candidates for a GM job too.  If a team is looking at you for theirs, you don't pass it up, you go for the job.

It makes no sense for Johnson to have left the Redskins at the altar only to work for Mark Davis.

Mark Davis has my vote for owner with best/worst haircut in the NFL. He has him something like a 19 year old girlfriend (which I approve!) and the Julius Caesar Russel Crowe from Gladiator late 90's/early 2000's haircut. He inherited a million dollar franchise from dad and sports that haircut on a daily basis while walking around with his little dime piece. Johnson may be inclined to learn the arts of seduction and stylish haircuts a quarter of a century too late from the master himself.

We know Johnson is picky and has avoided scenarios with bad ownership(including ours). That's why the Las Vegas rumors see to lack any real credibility. Not to mention its just an okay roster but with absolutely zero QB nor any real obvious chance to get one aside from straight tanking in 2025.

Fowler is legit.

If you had asked me prior to yesterday, I'd have said I think he's going back. All indications now though or that he will take one of the available jobs. 

If it's true that he doesn't want to face Dan Campbell twice a year, then the Jaguars seem like the most logical choice but who knows?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
